Do you realize the number of guilds that were created in anticipation of TOR? I had longtime friends who were waiting for that game longer than people have been waiting for the rapture.

Don't act like Brad or VG is unique in this industry - ALL of it & them (including Blizzard, for different reasons) deserves thrown on the shit pile. The question is: which ones are worth recycling.
From a player's perspective, Star Wars: The Old Republic exceeded expectations on its launch one year ago today. Fans really took to the story content, reporting that the story content was the most fun they'd had leveling in any MMO up to that point. Things were looking great. The designers were obviously proud, and sales neared the two million mark, surpassing all previous MMOs for box sales at launch. Even before the official launch of the game, BioWare had to add new servers because of the number of people in early access. The day before the official launch, some queue times were over two hours, and at that time, there were 140 servers. Life was insane at BioWare to say the least.

Yeah, sounds exactly like VG. It was more than 10 years ago, but you might prefer to consider Anarchy Online as a starting point. Of course, Funcom still exists.

Blizzard? Hah. Blizzard has a history of cancelling completed titles because they don't meet their high expectations.

VG wasn't just another bumpy launch with some problems logging in and some downtime. Gah.

You can't blame her for not wanting to be ganged up on by a bunch of fucking goons who lose their shit at the whiff of a lady invading their territory.

Whether or not Zoeii was a he or a she really shouldn't matter. What we got was a disgusting display of behavior that would have turned anyone off from posting here.
She struck me as one of those "gamer girls" who thought her vagina bought her some sort of cred and respect automatically and when she started trying to cash in on it she got called and ran off once she realized no fucks were given.

Something has to balance out the circle jerking that goes on also. It's about even from the 2 extreme opposite spectrums.
No, actually, nothing has to balance what you perceive to be circle jerking. Seriously, what would happen if all the over-the-top negativity and rage disappeared? Probably a whole lot of nothing. I've been following this thread for a while and most people who are in on the project are merely cautiously optimistic. You know you have a problem when you perceive anything said in a positive manner about the project as "circle jerking" or "fanboyism."

This says more about you than anything Zoeii posted. It's really a disgusting mentality.

Or, people could try not being absolutely horrible to each other. There are plenty of forums on the Internet that manage that. It doesn't have to be all rage all the time.

You don't just show up at a stranger's house party because you got invited by an acquaintance of the host and start browbeating everyone at the party as if you know better than them how they should act in their own house with all their friends (and the shitheads they keep around for entertainment). You're going to get ridiculed and told to shut the fuck up and get out within seconds. Ease your way into the party bros. Ease in.

I guess, man. If that's how insular you want this community to be.

We got a white knight. Were you hoping she was going to private message you and that would eventually lead to some skype calls and then, if you played your cards right, years down the road you two would meet up in real life and have a little over the pantsy handsy dancy?

I don't get it... have you seen some of the posts trying to be all Furor-like by Boozecube and other people whose names I can't recall at the moment?
Eh, I don't think UT's range of zealous hate is needed, but to just forgive and forget? Hell no. Plus for every UT style post of rabid dog hatred, there is equal number of " Sun shines out of x person's ass" post, always amusing to read.

Nah, dude, I don't think I even interacted once with Zoeii. Just kind of cringed at the pile up that happened when it was discovered that she was a girl/claiming to be a girl. I'd post some links if it wasn't like 200 pages back.

I'm sure if someone said, "How dare you talk to a gentleman like that!" it would be ridiculed as well (though probably not as much because most people would think it was sarcastic at first). Don't expect special treat for being a woman (or pretending to be one) and it's likely you won't get special treatment of a positive or negative variety. Repeatedly calling out your sex is asking for attention but there's no guarantee what type that will be.

They don't have to forgive and forget, but they also don't need to make it a fucking crusade to do everything they can to go convincing other people to do the same.

Maybe so, but it's about the same as those trying to convince others to pledge, really no difference.

Listening to KTAM Radio's interview of the devs. Couple things so far:

-There won't be a bunch of grindy quests.
-They haven't developed a currency system yet.
-They haven't decided if there will be a weight system yet.
